??????? I looked on wikipedia and a couple of recipe sites and Nothing
Wait wait I found something
It is a smaller lobster between 1 and 1.24 pounds. also called a chicken lobster
Cooking Instructions:
Winter lobsters are hard shelled, the best way to have them. In the summer they shed their shells and become soft shells, and the meat is less firm, more watery, not as good. The shells gradually recalcify and the flesh firms up after a while.
Lobsters with two claws are called primes, one claw are culls and no claws are called pistols. The claws are regenerated, and sometimes you will see one regular claw and one tiny one. It is a cull. I like to buy culls and pistols, they are cheaper and most of the meat is in the tail anyway.
Talking about claws, the big one with teeth that look like molars is the gripper, the smaller one, with sharp needle like teeth is called the shredder.
One pound lobsters are called Chicken Lobsters or chix, then they go up by quarters, 1-1/4, 1-1/2, 1-3/4. Then come 2 lb. lobsters, called Twos, and then they go up by quarters. Bigger than twos are Jumbos, starting at three lbs. The larger they get the higher the price.
